Hookah Mastery


Recommended Posts

Theres a point in which i strive for in hookah.

Sure, flavor is important, but i usually get it perfect for what im loading.

"any blind squirrel can find a nut"

Any novice can pack a bowl with flavor.

What I aim for while enjoying my hookah are smoke rings, lots and lots of fluffy perfectly dense halos.

They are the distinctive mark of an experienced smoker.

The ring through ring.
The double ring.
The transcontinental behemoth.

But there is one "trick" i strive for, i call it the "special olympics"

5 rings of perfect density suspended simultaneously, ring witdh of 1/3-1/2 inch, diameter of ~3 inches.

The trick is to put out the rings quickly before the first one disappates, an area of oppurtunity with a >1 second window.

I usually get 4, my head going from 180 degrees and ending up at a 90, that 5th puff a whirlwind of concentration and anticipation. It usually ends in disappontment, but when you hit it - business is good.

When i get 5 rings like that (a rare occurance) i feel mastery, the sight is nothing short of impressive to anyone.

Thats what i strive for while messing around, any thoughts/comments?

Haha, that's sounds awesome. Prior to hookahs I never smoked, and have only been smoking from a hookah for a couple months now and smoke rings have always been something I wanted to learn how to do. Still can't even pop out a nice, single one, let alone five.

I'm entertained by the simplest things, I swear.

See, when my mouth gets too tired to get rings I get imagination wads. They kinda look like rings if you use your imagination... *looks around nervously, runs away*

the trick is making a rather large target about 5 or 6 rings each slightly bigger or slightly smaller then previous depending on which way you go the blow an arrow out of your nose through the bullseye
come on Jim Carry did it in The Mask and he used a cigg

once i had the hose in my mouth to hold it and i wasn't really thinking (i was working on a paper) i started blowing rings and since the hose was in the center of my mouth i had two streams of rings coming out of each side of my mouth. My room mate was like dude did you mean to do that. It was pretty sweet.
